Library Journal: 77% of US adults online
Just want to add my .02 to the blog author's conclusion:
"This also means that more and more of our patrons are going to be able to access our websites and online services. We need to be keeping an eye on the services we offer online users of our libraries and make sure that we are serving them as well as we are serving our "bricks and mortar" users."
They'll be able to access it, but WILL they? Library catalogs and databases are not as user friendly as Google or another search engine. We're shooting ourselves in the foot by not making our own resources as easy to search.
